I don't even know where to begin...yikes.

That's not good at all.

Curious - why did you stop? Never, ever, ever, stop on the racing surface. Even if you are past the cones. The EMS personnel need a clear track.

Well, whoever was shooting video stopped. I thought that was your video.

Sorry

Hope everyone was OK.

I had a guy clip my rear wheel right at the bridge in August 2005..I tumbled way past T7 mostly in the area between the grass and the green wall on the outside. Luckily I didn't make any contact with any solid barriers.

It was still NOT a fun experience.

Going to the outside of riders approaching turn 7 is not a good idea. Same thing for going to the outside of riders through the kink or approaching turn 1. It's not worth it.

 

[pearsonm]

Was that a NESBA event?

 

[steve gould]

Must have been the TPM day there a couple of weeks ago. They put out apex marker cones.

The guy shooting the video is on Fb. I asked him the same question about stopping. His response was it's hard not to stop when seeing your friend go down. Do people NOT listen in the riders meeting? Guess you can't fix stupid!

 

[steve gould]

You know how you always hear people say hold your line, be smooth etc...At 26 seconds in the guy in the black leathers does exactly the opposite of holding his line. He had his line picked out then decides he wants to be four feet over THERE!!! Thats EXACTLY what happens going into turn 7. Have your line decided by the time you cross under the bridge. No need to swing way out left to turn up the hill, you put overtaking riders in the F-in weeds.

 

[steve gould]

After watching the video again, it was the same guy who wasnt holding his line that was subjected to the same move. Hope he's ok.

First off I hope everyone is Ok.

So it was hard not to stop when he saw his friend go down, but he takes the time to turn off the camera? Did I see that right?:doh:

 

[noobinacan]

something had already happened and the guy was already down, looks like the dude in the white helmet was trying to avoid.
rest is all speculation...I hope they're all ok.

but I do agree, just that half lap shows a lot of jinking!!!

 

[flynlow69]

Any updates on how folks are doing? Scary, looked like a helmet rolling through the wreckage?

Tough call on the guy stopping, looked like he avoided the wreckage and went into the run off area, do you turn around and re enter the course and continue on or shut your bike down and get out of the way and let the emergency crew take care of business?

 

[PATBAROK]

Hope everyone involved is ok!

 

[Ruhe52]

do you turn around and re enter the course and continue on or shut your bike down and get out of the way and let the emergency crew take care of business?

You turn your bike around reenter the track as directed by a corner worker and get to pit in and off the track as fast as you safely can. No exception only time you stop on the track is when you are one of the guys on the ground.

Hope everyone is ok. Looked pretty nasty.

 

[rk97]

I hope everyone involved is no worse for the wear. That didn't look fun. Luckily it also didn't look like anyone got run over or tangled with the bikes.

I had a nice long rant typed up about the faulty "logic" involved in stopping on the track, but everyone can just PM me if they want to hear it

 

[flynlow69]

Thanks Ruhe!

I would never think about stopping on track for an accident!
